Ingredients

For The Pickle

  • ½ cucumber finely sliced into discs
  • 1 carrot julienned
  • 1 red onion finely sliced
  • 200ml water
  • 200ml rice wine vinegar
  • 100g sugar
  • 2 teaspoon salt

For The Chicken Marinade

  • 3-4 chicken thighs
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ inch ginger minced
  • 1 teaspoon chilli flakes
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce

The rest

  • 7g fresh coriander
  • 7g fresh mint
  • 2 tablespoon sriracha mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoon chilli oil
  • 2-4 tablespoon chicken liver pate
  • 2 small baguettes sliced in half

Instructions

  • In three separate jars or bowls, combine your cucumber, carrot, and red onion with your pickle solution. For this, in a jug, combine the water, rice wine vinegar, sugar, and salt. Give it a mix until the sugar has dissolved. Pour the solution equally into each jar or bowl with the individual ingredient. Leave for 20 minutes minimum to pickle.
  • In a bowl, combine your chicken thighs with your marinade ingredients. Toss and then leave to marinate for 10 minutes minimum (up to 24 hours in the fridge).
  • Place a frying pan on medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Add in your chicken thighs and fry on each side for 4 minutes or until golden and slightly charred.
  • Get a large chopping board and add on all of your ingredients (chicken thighs, pickles, coriander, mint, sriracha mayo, chilli oil).
  • Chop all of the ingredients until they're roughly chopped.
  • Form the chopped salad into a rectangle the shape of your baguette.
  • Slice your baguette in half and place the bottom piece on top of the filling (face down), and then scoop (using a knife) the filling onto the bread. Spread pate onto the top half of the bread, then combine the two. Enjoy!!
